AI検索最適化・ローカルSEO対応のWordPressプラグインです。<strong>設定 <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> AI Search Schema</strong> で会社情報・LocalBusiness 情報・SNS・ジオコーディングなどを入力すると、検索エンジン向けの JSON-LD を一括生成できます。</p>
<h3>Why Structured Data Matters Now / 今、構造化データが重要な理由</h3>
<p><strong>The Age of Answer Engines / 回答エンジンの時代</strong></p>
<p>Search is evolving from “10 blue links” to AI-powered answer engines (Google SGE, Bing Copilot, ChatGPT with browsing). These systems don’t just index pages—they understand them. Structured data (JSON-LD) is the language that helps AI comprehend your content.<br />
検索は「10本の青いリンク」から、AIによる回答エンジン（Google SGE、Bing Copilot、ChatGPTのブラウジング機能）へと進化しています。これらのシステムはページを単にインデックスするだけでなく、「理解」します。構造化データ（JSON-LD）は、AIがあなたのコンテンツを正しく理解するための言語です。</p>
<p><strong>Why AI Search Optimization Matters / AI検索最適化が重要な理由</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI citations</strong>: When AI assistants answer questions, they cite sources. Proper schema increases the chance of being cited.<br />
<strong>AI引用</strong>: AIアシスタントが質問に回答する際、出典を引用します。適切なスキーマは引用される可能性を高めます。</li>
<li><strong>Rich results</strong>: Google displays enhanced search results (stars, prices, FAQs, breadcrumbs) for sites with valid schema.<br />
<strong>リッチリザルト</strong>: Googleは有効なスキーマを持つサイトに対し、拡張検索結果（星評価、価格、FAQ、パンくず）を表示します。</li>
<li><strong>Local SEO/MEO</strong>: LocalBusiness schema directly powers Google Maps and local pack rankings.<br />
<strong>ローカルSEO/MEO</strong>: LocalBusinessスキーマはGoogleマップとローカルパックの順位に直接影響します。</li>
<li><strong>Voice search</strong>: Structured data helps voice assistants provide accurate answers from your site.<br />
<strong>音声検索</strong>: 構造化データは音声アシスタントがあなたのサイトから正確な回答を提供することを助けます。</li>
</ul>

<h3>Geocoding / ジオコーディング</h3>
<ol>
<li>Obtain a <strong>Google Maps Geocoding API key</strong> (limit it to “Geocoding API” only) and add referrer/IP restrictions plus daily quotas.<br />
<strong>Google Geocoding APIキー</strong> を取得し、API制限（Geocoding のみ）、HTTPリファラー／IP制限、クォータ設定を行ってください。</p>
<ul>
<li>Google Cloud Console で新規プロジェクトを作成し、<strong>Geocoding API</strong> を有効化（他 API は不要）</li>
<li>「認証情報」から API キーを発行し、HTTP リファラーまたは IP 制限を設定</li>
<li>1 日あたりのクォータ上限を設定して不正利用を防止</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Enter the key in <strong>Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> AI Search Schema</strong>. The key is saved only in WordPress options and never rendered in HTML/JS.<br />
キーは WordPress のオプションにのみ保存され、HTML/JS には出力されません。</li>
<li>Click <strong>Fetch coordinates</strong> to geocode the current address. Requests are rate-limited (10 seconds) and cached. Re-fetching is required only when address fields change.<br />
<strong>住所から緯度・経度を取得</strong> ボタンで geocode が発火します。10 秒のレート制御とキャッシュを実装しているため、住所を変更したタイミングのみ再取得してください。</li>
<li>When the key is empty the plugin falls back to OpenStreetMap (Nominatim) for development use. Production sites should keep a Google API key configured.<br />
キー未設定時は開発用フォールバックとして OpenStreetMap (Nominatim) を使用します。本番では Google API キーの設定を推奨します。</li>

<p>IASM – AI Search Visibility Monitor helps you understand how AI systems and AI-powered search engines see your website.</p>
<p>Modern AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot or Claude do not interpret websites like humans do.<br />
They rely on specific, machine-readable files to understand a site’s structure, purpose, and authority.</p>
<p>This plugin allows you to quickly verify whether your website is exposing the key AI-readable files required for proper AI interpretation and AI-driven discoverability.</p>
<h3>What this plugin checks</h3>
<p>The free version verifies the presence and HTTP status of the following AI-oriented files:</p>
<ul>
<li>llms.txt</li>
<li>humans.txt</li>
<li>metadata.json</li>
<li>sitemap-ia.xml</li>
<li>ai-plugin.json</li>
</ul>
<p>Each of these files plays a specific role in how AI systems classify, interpret, and potentially reference your website.</p>
<h3>Why this matters</h3>
<p>If these files are missing, inaccessible, or misconfigured, AI systems may:</p>
<ul>
<li>Misinterpret your website’s purpose or intent</li>
<li>Ignore relevant sections or content</li>
<li>Fail to reference or cite your site in AI-generated answers</li>
<li>Treat your website as low-confidence or generic</li>
</ul>
<p>IASM helps you detect these issues early, before they affect your visibility in AI-powered search engines and assistants.</p>
<h3>Who this plugin is for</h3>
<ul>
<li>Website owners preparing for AI-driven search</li>
<li>SEO professionals exploring Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)</li>
<li>Developers building AI-friendly web infrastructure</li>
<li>Businesses that want to future-proof their online presence</li>
</ul>
<h3>About the Premium version</h3>
<p>IASM Free is designed as a diagnostic tool.<br />
The Premium version allows you to generate, manage, and keep these AI-readable files updated automatically, ensuring your website remains consistently optimized for AI systems.</p>
<p>Developed by the team behind IA SEO Generator.</p>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>IASM – AI Search Visibility Monitor does not collect, store, or transmit personal data.</p>
<p>The checks in this Free version use WordPress’ HTTP API to request your own site’s public URLs (for example: /llms.txt, /sitemap-ia.xml) to verify their HTTP status codes.</p>
<p>No third-party services are contacted by the plugin.</p>
